Correlation of the local and the macroscopic properties of high-temperature superconductors: EXAFS data analysis

A. Menushenkov

Synopsis: Based on temperature-dependent EXAFS studies of high-temperature superconducting oxides, a model of the relationship between the local crystal and the local electronic structures has been proposed. In a common approach the model explains the antiferromagnetic state, metal-insulator phase transition and the appearance of superconductivity, and eliminates the discrepancy between neutron-scattering and EXAFS data.

High-resolution wide-angle X-ray scattering of protein solutions: effect of beam dose on protein integrity

R. F. Fischetti, D. J. Rodi, A. Mirza, T. C. Irving, E. Kondrashkina and L. Makowski

Synopsis: X-ray scattering data have been recorded from protein solutions to 2.2 Å spacing using the BioCAT insertion-device beamline at the Advanced Photon Source. The measured scattering is in agreement with that predicted using the program CRYSOL and atomic coordinates from the PDB. Features in the patterns can be used to assess both the structural integrity of the protein and the extent of radiation-induced damage.
